Just Got My Car Tuned - R33 Gtr

[SiR_RB]

oh cool

never had a stalling problem, the stock clutch was slipping when he bought it, so in went the nismo item

he bought it with 93kms so he did abit under 10,000kms in 1 year of ownership...which is pretty good considering i did over 20,000kms LOL

[Chris_GTR26]

damn. the series 3 go for alot ay ??

i got my series 3 cheap then

[SiR_RB]

series 3 (especialy 1998) fetch a higher price

maybe cos its the very last ones to be made before the R34 started rolling out.

series 3 has a better interior in my opinion, the red in the seats and door trims looks hot

not to mention the series 3 gearbox

why whats the gearbox got different..

i heard something like they have better synchros or something.. not too sure

what do series 3 have different then a regular series 2

im pretty sure mines a series 3.. 1997 non v-spec

[KR4-GTR]

yeah, for series 3 - gearbox synchros were revised.

some of the easier tell tale vspec signs are a finned diff and an active LSD light in the dash. on a side note - vspec weighs a bit more.

vspec is also a tad lower and technically is meant to be a few thousand more

[KR4-GTR]

a question, are the 33 gtr tanks 60 litre, or 65 litre!?

out of curiosity!?

series 3 can be both, vspec and non vspec.

you can tell the same way that the other series are - i.e finned diff - etc.

Main differences between series 1 and series 3 are:

- Xenon headlights

- Deeper/fatter lower lip

- Red stitching on interior seats/door trims

- Right hand rear tailight has a red fog light in place of reverse light

- Stronger synchros in gearbox

- KR4 silver was not available in Series 1

- KL0 silver was not available in Series 3

There may be more but those are the most common...

-d/s fog light instead of reverse light ( switch found lower left of steering wheel coloumn )

-front lip is fatter and long ( scrape up my drive way

- mines in black ( heard rare color to find on series 3's but i dont know )

- red stitching on steering wheels

- hole next to p/s front blinker ( which KR4 said is for oil cooler )

i think thats all. but cheers on the syncho information i didnt know about that

[Chris_GTR26]

hey KR4-GTR when u fitted the pfc.. how much power gain did you get from it ???

someone told me depending on safe tune or heavy tune it can vary from 30-50 kw gain

now i dont believe that.. but seeing as u have just fitted yours, do you know how much it would be

i have 217kw at all four wheels

- cat back exhaust

- apexi air filters

- boosted to 14 psi

and now the pfc..

im getting it tuned next week at Gas Motorsport.. or do you guys know anyone better then this in the sydney region

cheers

hey mate, it was 178kw @ wheels originally before tune and power fc.

now it is 222 @ wheels @ a SAFE tune - 12psi. i told them i wanted economy over power.

would be interesting to see what you got if you were to put a power fc in.

post results please!

[KR4-GTR]

on a side note, just filled up again - i didnt leave it until it touched the E but i did the math and i would have gotten around 470 to the full tank, daily driving.

after research, i've also learnt that a r33 gtr tank is 65 litres. a r32 gtr tank is 72 litres!

hey mate, still around 400+ on average with a few boots. depends how hard you push it though of corse.

driving very sensibly - 470 to the tank.
